45 Minute Lectures with experts, scientists, & Knowledge Producers

In sacramento’s best bars

we believe…

That scientists should be treated like rock stars

That learning something new is ludicrously fun

In putting our screens down and creating real community

In the transformative power of art, science, and sharing new ideas

In supporting local businesses, and building local communities

In not taking ourselves too seriously

If we’re being honest, we aren’t big fans of social media. Our goal is to get you off your screen and to come see us at a live event. But until you can make it in-person, it’s cool if you follow us on social media.
